Arts In Case You Missed It…
posted by on March 15 at 13:39 PM
As per this week’s Nightstand: On May 17 at Neumo’s, we’re doing an event with Miranda July (director/star of Me and You and Everyone We Know, but also Nest of Tens, Atlanta, and various excellent performance art pieces). There will be a reading and music and a discussion and a dance party.
July’s collection of short stories, No One Belongs Here More Than You, will be published on May 15 by Scribner. I haven’t read it, because Christopher won’t let me, but it includes “Something That Needs Nothing,” a story originally published in The New Yorker. Their new website won’t let you read the whole thing online, but it does attempt to entice you with these hilarious keywords:
Teen-agers (Teenagers);
Runaways;
Love Affairs;
Breakups;
Gays (Homosexuals);
Lesbians;
Portland, Oregon
She's a great actress, performance artist and director. I enjoyed talking with her beforehand at SIFF.
Highly recommended!
This post, and more specifically that pic of Miranda, just made my day.
If I may quote Townes van Zandt: "(She is) a treasure for the poor to find."
Ah, be still, my deep-fried, bacon-wrapped, spray cheese-infused hotdog punished heart...
I'd hit that.
@3 - just trying to get Erica to comment, huh?
Miranda July is a warble-voiced twit with a head that is in fact full of stale air. She is an idiot and I hate her art. I watched your movie, Miranda, all the way through, and it made me want die.
And your 10,000 mile stare with the "?" expression of a hooker contemplating the cosmos is fake!
You're dumb, but not that dumb, you phony bitch.
What's the matter "there, I said it and now I feel better"...did you try to get in her pants and get shot down?
Clearly it didn't make you "want to die" quite enough, did it?
And where is it written that one must "be dumb", just because one "looks dumb" you mealey-mouthed philistine? If that were the case, some of the greatest comediennes who ever existed wouldn't have had careers.
He's right about the po-faced look, though.
She was way hotter in the yellow dress posted here a week or two ago. That hair is a fright.
No comment on her personal talent or looks, but I have a serious urge to re-read Irwin Shaw's short story, "The Girls in Their Summer Dresses."
I do not know what it is about that woman that makes me want to punch her in the face, and I'm usually fairly forebearing about pretensious hipster bullshit because at least it looks pretty. But she just makes me angry. EXELIZABETH WANTS TO KILL, KILL!!
